With DEC now coming out with various desktop workstations that have SCSI ports as standard interfaces, I would like to get the technical specification on this interface so I can pass data from custom instrumentation. Can anyone tell me where I can get this specification? Don Michalski dem@larry.sal.wisc.edu University of Wisconsin Space Astronomy Lab

The following information is from the SCSI BBS 316-636-8700: ---- clip here ---- How to Get SCSI Standards This file has information on obtaining the various SCSI standards. American National Standard (ANSI) for Small Computer System Interface (SCSI), X3.131-1986. This approved standard is available from: American National Standards Institute 1430 Broadway New York, NY 10018 Sales Department: (212) 642-4900 The price is $25.00 each for 1-9 copies. Quantity discounts are available. If your company is a member of ANSI, you may also be eligible for a discount. The enhanced Small Computer System Interface (SCSI-2) is not an approved standard. It is a working document of the X3T9.2 Task Group that is intended to revise and enhance X3.131-1986. Copies of the most recent version of this document can be obtained from: Global Engineering Documents 2805 McGaw Irvine, CA 92714 (714) 261-1455 (800) 854-7179 Global has identified this document as X3.131-198X. (The latest revision is Rev 7 with a date of 1/20/89) The European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA) has also prepared a standard on SCSI. It is known as: Standard ECMA-111 and was published in December 1985.
